The New Samsung A8s Could Be Our First Look At The Galaxy S10's Notchless ‘Hole-punch' Display

A hole for the camera but not one for your headphones.

If you’ve been following along with the Galaxy S10 rumors (go.pcworld.com/s10r), then you know Samsung is planning something very different for its 2019 flagship: A display with a hole in the front rather than a notch. And we may have just gotten our first look at it.

Samsung has taken the wraps off the Galaxy A8s (go.pcworld.com/g8as), a midrange China-only phone that’s likely to cost hundreds of dollars less than the Galaxy S10. However, the two phones might not look too much different: the A8s is the first phone to feature Samsung’s new Infinity-O display, a near–edge-to-edge screen that has a small hole in the right corner for the selfie camera, rather than a notch. At 6.4 inches, it has a bigger screen than the 6.2-inch Galaxy S9+ (go.pcworld.com/gls9) but without the bulk of a camera-hiding strip above the screen.
